hey, author here. it's been about nine weeks since our last update and that's because we've been busy building a system where people can make their own sounds and share them with everyone else.

we thought it would be a good idea because unlike Petty, i just like to play but can't really produce. he's obsessed with the music side and likes to produce what he plays, so he ends up with these setups that sound brilliant and until now there was no way to get one of them onto my phone. now you save what you built as a pack, post it, and anybody can load it and play with your band.

most of those nine weeks went on making a pack mean the same thing twice, which turned out to be much harder than the file format. at one point he lost one of his own recordings to a pack that had no scratch part in it, which is in the writeup.

hope you enjoy it as much as i do. might be an easy way in for anyone who just wants to open the app and play.

happy to answer anything.

Author here. It's a browser game, but really it's an argument about one security idea that I wanted people to be able to poke at instead of take my word for.

sashyo··on How to Follow a Drummer
i've heard of it but never actually used it, so i can't really compare properly.

my inspiration was actually this jojo mayer video: https://youtu.be/URkxEAvavhw?t=248

My drummer half thought it would be fun so we decided to create DrumMate, and it ended up too good not to share.

sashyo··on Telling a tom from a snare with one microphone
hello sasha here, another post on DrumMate development. gotta good interaction last time from people so decided to post a new post regarding how im dealing with toms since i added a feature for it

DrumMate is an accompaniment app, it plays a band that follows the drummer, no ai the only intelligence is the drummer itself

mic is hard because we're trying to make hardware easy for users so using the phone which is not a great mic and it gives the whole kit in one signal

kick snare hat was easy cause they sit in different parts of the freq spectrum. toms are harder because they sit in the snare band

ive only tested it on drums i synthesised and never a real kit. im wondering if anyone has done a single-mic drum classification and got it right?

sashyo··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
I work at a small security startup on a project im pretty passionate about.

We are building open source tools to reduce how much sensitive stuff and power apps keep in one place.

One project is TideCloak, a Keycloak fork that keeps the familiar dx but changes the security model underneath: https://tide.org/tidecloak

Another is KeyleSSH, a keyless SSH/PAM prototype where there is no private key file sitting around as one thing to steal: https://github.com/sashyo/keylessh

Most of what I'm thinking about now is dx. Security tools dont matter much if normal devs cant understand, debug, or actually want to use them.
